A Fresh Start for Our Visitor Center Tree! The Visitor Center tree has been relocated to make way for a brand new, 30+ ft Christmas tree. Now replanted in front of City Hall, it has a larger, safer space to grow and thrive! Interesting fact: The cost to move the tree was actually less than the cost of cutting the tree down and removing the stump. While it will take a little time to settle in, the tree will soon be reshaped and ready to shine again. Its old location had become tight, and with its growth, it was nearing power lines and crowding the fence line. In its new home, there’s plenty of room for it to flourish — and it’ll continue to be a part of our Christmas celebrations for years to come.
